Fabulous 5 star recipe. I didn't change anything about this recipe other than to make only 1/2 of it. I baked two 6.5in cakes and 6 cupcakes. I frosted them with chocolate cream cheese frosting. Although my hubby is a Guinness fan, I must say I could not taste it ... thank goodness. But, what a chocolate flavour. Thank you.
